Need a altec lansing ADA 745 subwoofer

\015 My ADA 745 subwoofer failed and was disposed of and I still have the four speakers. Is there a way to connect the four speakers without the subwoofer? Or is another subwoofer compatible with these speakers? I would like to find the subwoofer without the speakers but so far no such luck.\015\012Thank you\015

I am trying to hookup my AL subwoofer to my existing comp system.Inserting a wire jack into one of the comp spkrs and subwoofer shuts the sound off.?? It is a FMC0034326 Altec Lansings Subwoofer.Thanks.
